As the holiday season approaches, your heat pump becomes essential to keep your home cozy and comfortable. Preparing your heat pump for colder weather ensures efficient performance and helps you avoid unexpected repairs during family gatherings. Here are five best practices to keep your heat pump running smoothly through the holidays.
Heat pumps are placed under a lot of stress throughout the year, but especially during the summer and winter seasons. If you’re using a heat pump for climate control this winter, you need to keep an eye out for problems that might develop. Earlier problem detection means faster repairs, which means more damage prevented. Have a look at some of the warning signs that your heat pump is malfunctioning this winter.
Your heat pump probably spends a lot more time in cooling mode than heating mode around here. Still, you probably don’t want to go totally without the ability to heat your home. There are going to be at least a few days where you’re going to want your heat pump to, you know, heat. If your heat pump seems to be stuck in cooling mode, it’s probably because of a problem with your reversing valve. Have a look at how the reversing valve operates, and how a problem with it can lock your system into cooling mode.
The weather is only going to get hotter over the next few weeks, which means you’re going to be relying on your heat pump that much more to keep your home cool. More demand means more stress, which means a greater opportunity for issues to occur. You may not be able to fully mitigate the chances of a problem developing with your heat pump, but you can reduce the damage as much as possible. The best way to do that is to call for repairs as soon as you notice a warning sign that something is wrong with your system. Have a look at some of the warning signs that your heat pump is in need of repair.
If you’ve had your heat pump for any length of time, you’re probably familiar with the kinds of noises that it makes. If at any point your heat pump starts to make unusual noises, it’s a sign that it may be in trouble of some kind. Let’s take a look at the various kinds of strange noises that you may hear coming from your heat pump, and the kinds of issues that they indicate.
Just like any system, heat pumps are susceptible to the occasional problem over years of normal use. Also like any other system, the chances of a heat pump developing problems go up during times of heavy usage. If you’re using a heat pump to keep warm this winter, you’re putting the system under more stress than it usually has to deal with. You should keep an eye out for any problems that may crop up as a result of this stress. Lets’ take a look at some common heat pump problems you should watch for.
If you’re using a heat pump to keep warm this winter, you may notice ice starting to form on the outside coil. If you do see this happening, don’t panic. Heat pump ice is to be expected if certain conditions are met, and the system is designed to deal with it. However, the ice can definitely become a problem if the system’s countermeasures fail. Let’s take a look at why it happens, and when you should call for professional help.
We are at that time of year when the evenings become cool enough to warrant turning on the heat. But what happens if your heat doesn’t come on, or your heat pump doesn’t work at all? There can be a few reasons why your heat pump isn’t working as needed, and the pros from Climate Masters can help determine what the issue is.
